The Very Reverend Jeremy Greaves of Darwin's Christchurch Cathedral is known for his strong views on issues of social justice, and he isn't afraid to create a bit of controversy amongst his congregation for the sake of what he believes.

At his parish, members of the Jewish, Islamic and Christian faiths share in worship together. Homeless people, the middle-class, the elderley and asylum seekers "muddle along" together in what he says is a picture of how the rest of the world could look.

Last year he came under the spotlight when he told local media there were more Christian values on display at Darwin's gay nightclub, Throb, than at the Pentecostal church Potters House, after the church held a play depicting homosexuals and abortion doctors in hell.

Not long after, he announced he had been invited to a smaller parish in Buderim, Queensland, and speculation was rife that his outspoken views had prompted a demotion.

In this interview, Mr Greaves explains his move to Queensland, his views on issues of social justice, identity and sexuality, and the church's place in a modern and progressive world.
